I use Andro and it works great. It smells like rotten eggs though. What I do is I buy the big yard back size and I circle the entire house as close as I can get to the walls. I do it several times over a week and I swear it has worked better than any exterminator or any other product I have tried (and I tried at least 6-7 of them) and it's cheap too. Normally it lasts months, sometimes years but then I just redo it and it 'poof' ants are gone. If yours are nesting under your house or in the walls, you may have to shoot some of the powder right near the nest for it to work though. Good luck!

G-VEGAS BABY!!!!! Ok dude I'm a hour south of you I kno your pain I feel it bruddah. My apt and last trailor had BAD ants, the trailerpark FYI is a calling to all ants FREE FOOD FREE SEX FREE DRINKS to sum it up. My trailor I rented I had to remove all pinestraw from roof, they build houses in there, and they got there from the pine tree that had sagging limbs on the roof, cut them off. Next I cut the, wait no I scalped the shit outta the grass next to the trailer and tried to remove everything down to dirt almost, then sprayed the shit outta it with this big red container that has a spray handle on it (I forgot the brand its a red anti-freeze shaped plastic container for ants and such), spray all around the house, then make sure your windows are tight, most ants come through windows or openings in the floor. That helped them ALOT for the trailer, and ofcourse keeping foods and dirty dishes washed helps alot too. For my apartment I used the Liquid Terro stuff in small bottle, I just put a drop of the syrup like consistency "liquid" around the windows and the trails they used, even in my cabinets, all over since I don't have any kids and stuff now or pets. I've also heard about the chalk too, like for around your garbage can or something, hey I watched this guy make a all natural method from a type of fungi (mushrooms), its awesome his name is Ted Stamets he is a mycologist (mushroom genius). Let me link his video and a picture and a quote since its really neato.

Instead of chemical warfare (bug spray, etc), resort to aromatic warfare. Ants use scent for most activities (identifying others in the colony, locating food, etc). Use that against them.

Trace the ants back to their nest (ant hill) and use a metal rod to stir up the nest a bit (go down at least a foot). The warrior ants will immediately begin to swarm, spreading progressively out from the nest to find the attacker. Of course, you obviously want to stay just outside that area.

Once there's a large number of warriors on the surface (and before they've spread out too far), spray them with a good dose of Lysol spray or similar (I've even used underarm deodorant). This will sting the warriors (sending them into fight mode) and mask the odor used to ID the other ants.

At that point, the warriors will fight and kill every single ant in the colony (different odor), including the queen (laying eggs) and each other. The very few remaining warriors will eventually die from either injuries or starvation (no workers supplying food).

I've used this tactic many times, easily clearing entire yards (multiple ant hills) of ants. It works with all types of ants (fire ants, etc). The yard will remain ant free until another queen finds her way into the yard and starts a new colony.

Disclaimer: There are obvious risks to this tactic - which is likely why there's no product using this method in stores. Swarming warrior ants can cause painful injuries. Watch your feet carefully, spraying the nest and then fleeing the area before the ants get to you. You might want to try this on smaller nests first, followed by larger nests as you gian experience.

I use borax & mix it w/ hot water & sugar/honey.
Boiled water disolves the mix helping to put in a spray bottle.
A cup of sugar to 8 tablespoons of borax.
You can also make traps by making a thicker mixture put it on cotton balls placed in a jam jar.
Screw the lid back on the jar & puncture some holes w/ a little bit of sprinkled sugar.
I also use bread w/ the mixture on an old plate.
Be careful of kids and animals who might think it is ok to eat it.
It works and is cheap.
